I generally keep my labels with the names I received plants under, unless all authorities appear to agree on an alternative name. That way I know what plant I'm referring to and it maintains a link with places and people. If you did change you're labels I think you'd only be doing it all again in a year or two.

Then, how about sharing this boat with us, Ian? 8) ;D

Floating garden

Really hoping your good result in your breeding programmes, Matt :) My targets of the moment are vigorous flat corona and earlier flowering hoops ::)
So, that golden spring herald from your home brightened you up, Emilio :D


It is very a very nice design but I was thinking of something bigger, a big old container ship for instance would give plenty room for plenty glasshouses and gardens. 8)

Yes, that's the best way to avoid confusion. IMO more infomative than just putting a new ''name'' on it..

I make no apologies for having posted this earlier in the month but it has really flowered well this year.

Narcissus romieuxii x N. bulbocodium originally from Ranveig Wallis

Tatsuo, you've caught my breath. That is nothing less than spectacular.
If you could get it to Dunblane I'll bet it would receive a Certificate of Merit.  ;D

Edit: or a First Class certificate even - I'm still getting to grips with all the various awards at the shows/committees etc. Confused.com

Oh my word! That is truly a spectacular pot of Narcissus, Tatsuo.  There would be people fainting with delight at Dunblane to see this beauty.  What a master grower you are - and thank you so much for sharing the photos with us.

Maggy, maybe is it  possible to send Tatsuo a Forest Medal, even if he has't participate? :) ;D
This is Narcissus foliosus from Morocco.

My goodness, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest! All right, you may now laugh - below is Tatsuo's clone of the same plant growing in Yorkshire this morning.
